I took my granddaughter to see "Suffragette" (The vote for women in England and trigger warning)

[Omaha Steve]

First on the way there we talked about what Scalia said yesterday. She was pissed. So I sent her some links when I got home.

Remember earlier this year I took her to see "Selma" Same thing.

Anyway the film shows very brutal treatment of women that just wanted the vote in England. Over a thousand were jailed (some long term) before it was over. Go see "Suffragette" even if you have to close your eyes a few times to see into the past.

Events in the film lead a wave of suffrage across the globe!

SUFFRAGETTE is the first ever feature film to tell the inspirational story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement who risked everything in the fight for equality.

1. What women need to know is that men didn't give us the vote

Our foremothers went out and fucking grabbed it.

My grandmother and great grandmother were Sufragettes.

2. I've been waiting to see if anyone here has seen this movie.

I plan on seeing it.

3. Loved it. Of course, a little dark at times...

IMO, should be REQUIRED viewing for teenagers. They take too much for granted.
